About math What is the maxium price

Question

Vivian has no more than 95$ to spend at the mall. She wants to buy a dress and a pair of socks. If the sales tax on the dress is 4% and the pair of socks are $10 (no tax on socks), what is the maximum price of dress Vivian can afford?

Answer 1

(95-10)/1.04 = $81.73 = max pre tax dress price she can afford

4% = .04

81.73 + 4% tax

= 81.73 + .04(81.73)

= 81.73 + 3.27

= 85
